Again using an image of the Papal Basilica of St. Peter in the Vatican, the pro-Islamic State (IS) Wafa' Media Foundation called on lone-wolf jihadists to prepare attacks for "Crusaders" for the upcoming Christmas holiday.

The pro-Islamic State (IS) Wafa' Media Foundation continued to threaten attacks on the Vatican and Italian landmarks as well as the 2018 FIFA World Cup in Russia, publishing posters about both targets.

A pro-Islamic State (IS) Telegram channel called on lone-wolf jihadists to take revenge for U.S.-led coalition airstrikes on markets in Raqqah and attack American and European shopping centers and New York public pools.

Four days after it suggested Italy as the next target of an Islamic State (IS) attack or that by lone wolves, a pro-IS Telegram channel recommended particular locations to strike with vehicles there and in Belgium and Denmark.

A pro-Islamic State (IS) Telegram account forwarded a message calling on “Islamic State supporters everywhere” to attack non-believers in embassies, clubs, and cafés, and ministries, asking, “Where are the lone wolves??”
